Today, May 23rd, is Turtle Day! A day that encourages you to discover the world of turtles and tortoises, and to learn how you can help to protect and help them to thrive. Some ideas include dressing up as turtles, saving turtles on roads, or getting involved in turtle research. As many of our local residents know, we have a variety of locations on the resort that are home to our reptile friends – the Western Painted Turtle.
There are four very large rocks in 18 Predator pond that the turtles have been relaxing on when they feel that they need a break from it all. One of the rocks is pointed on the top, and if you are very lucky, a little baby turtle pearches himself on top. I have been lucky enough to encounter this coin size turtle up there. Read More »
Construction Update
Doug Carrick was on site April 30th & May 1st to inspect the construction process and final shaping of the Practice Tee and all the Target Greens in the field. Doug is extremely pleased with the shaping as he inspected final grades.
The contractors (Russ Olson & Boyd Beatty) have done an excellent job considering the many barriers that come with factoring in Mother Nature. Led by Mike Long, the Predator Ridge maintenance team have done a remarkable job putting in the drainage that dried out what was a very wet area. Mike’s team is installing irrigation & sod and will continue to push hard to completion.
The End Result Will Be Well Worth the Wait
